Introduce yourself to your readers with an avatar, brief biography, and links to your social media identities.
Create a user profile
Setup a user profile and then edit a page section in your homepage to associate an About block with your username (the username is the name of the folder in authors/). For example, admin is the username (folder name) of the default authors/admin/ user profile.
Usage
For example, the following options can be added to your section front matter in order to include the About widget:
---
title: My page
type: landing
sections:
- block: about.avatar
id: about
content:
# Choose a user profile to display (a folder name within `content/authors/`)
username: admin
# Override your profile text from `authors/admin/_index.md`?
text: |>
👋 Hi, there! I'm **Alice**, a machine learning researcher at Netflix.
{style="font-size: 1.2rem; color: #FFB76B;}
---
To add a status emoji to your profile, add the status option to your author profile, such as in authors/admin/_index.md:
# Status emoji
status:
icon: ☕️
